no one is denying the man was a monster. he deserves to be punished. but, what is being overlooked is that some of what he is guilty of, this country is guilty of. namely, the rape and torture of men, women, and children. now, we can argue who is more of a monster. but, maybe the argument should be, who is more hypocritical. it is so hard to go there, isn't it? i cringe every time someone says what a moral nation we are. correct answer is some of us are. but, when you look away, and deny what has been done in our good name, with no protest, what does that say about us? what must the world think of this?
